A/N: So we know we haven't updated in a while but, here's a new chapter for you to read. For the record, we still don't own Stephanie Meyer's Twilight or regrettably Taylor Lautner or Alex Meraz (Yummy Alex Meraz-bookluver321). I'd like to own Justin Bieber though. (In the background bookluver321 gags).
After their walk on the beach, Madi and Lexi returned back home to the Black residence. As they strolled through the door, Madison let out a shout to alert her family that she was home. As he heard his sister yell, Jake, who was resting on the couch, sat up and looked at her confused as he quizzed her, "Hey aren't you like three months too early? It's only March."
"Yeah; I would've come home in June, had it not been for someone." Madi's eyes narrowed as she responded condescendingly. Noticing that her brother was just wearing a pair of brown cutoff shorts that hung just below his waist she added, "And where the hell is your shirt? We DO NOT need to see that."
"Hey! It's not my fault!" Lexi piped up innocently.
Hearing the remark from behind her, she turned to glare at her best friend, "You put his car on the roof!"
Snickering, Alexandra said, "Well it's your fault! You should've stopped me!"
Madison rolled her eyes as she murmured something about going to find her father. As she stormed away, Lexi giggled at her friend's antics. Walking towards the handsome guy in the room, she introduced herself, "Sorry for your sister's rude introductions. I'm Lexi Hunter."
Meanwhile, Jacob could not help but stare at Lexi. It felt as if all the bonds that were holding him to the earth were suddenly cut. But there were new bonds that held him; and all of those strands came from her. As he stared at her wide eyed, he was stunned at how beautiful she looked with her long black hair and emerald eyes. Gazing into Lexi's eyes he felt himself melting, as he whispered back, "Hi."
That night as Alexandra was asleep in Madison's bed since she was not used to the time difference, Madi and Jacob sat in their pajama's watching television. Madison was wearing a pair of red and white polka dot shorts and one of Jake's old black sweatshirts. Next to her, Jake was wearing a pair of grey basketball shorts and a white tank top. The two sat on the couch just spending brother-sister time as they watched The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. As Taylor Lautner came on the screen, Madi sighed dreamily as she dazedly said, "Taylor Lautner was sooo cute when he was a little kid."
"So what happened to him?" Her brother responded snarky.
After Jake insulted Taylor, Madi hit him in his stomach. Unfortunately, she was not ready for the hard impact. As she cringed, she asked, "Ouch! What are you made of, rocks?"
Chuckling at his sister's remark, he smirked, "Something like that."
"Freaking werewolves" Madison mumbled under her breath.
Jake sighed as he heard his sister's comment. He realized that this was as good as a time as ever to tell her about what had happened that afternoon. Hoping for a good reaction, Jake started tentatively, "Speaking of that…remember the legends about imprinting?"
Still watching the movie, Madi asked absentmindedly, "Yeah isn't that the reason why everyone thinks Leah is a heartless bitch, which I don't agree with by the way."
"Yeah," Jake snorted at his sister's obvious remark, as he continued, "Well, I kind of…imprinted."
That caught Madi's attention as she sat up and stared at Jake with wide eyes. She could not believe her brother waited until now to tell her about his imprint. Shocked, she asked rapidly, "What? On who?"
"Don't be mad…" her brother stalled.
Confused, the youngest Black furrowed her eyebrows as she inquired why she would be mad. Wincing to prepare himself for his little sister's hopefully positive response, Jake told her, "I sort of imprinted on Lexi."
Madison's eyes widened even more as she squealed happily and started bouncing up and down on the couch. Jake stared at her baffled as he wondered, "You're not mad?"
"Why would I be? Now we'll really be sisters! Yay!" Madi replied as she beamed largely.
Meanwhile, as Madi was freaking out about her brother's attraction to her best friend, outside two car doors slammed shut. Rachel and Paul were in a heated debate that could be heard from inside. Madi and Jake heard Paul scream at their older sister, "Rachel! What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to fix it! I just want everything to go back to normal!" Rachel yelled back at her ex-boyfriend.
Paul sighed deeply as he explained, "Well I can't help the way I feel!"
"'The way you feel?' Is this about some girl?" Rachel asked scornfully as she glared at him.
Paul sighed once more at Rachel. He was tired of her constant badgering. They had been trying to make their relationship work but these past few months were absolute torture for him. She was always so overbearing and jealous that he needed space. "No, I just don't feel that way or you anymore."
Tears welled up in Rachel's eyes as she turned on her heel and sprinted inside. As Paul caught the glistening in her eyes as she turned away, he ran after her. The two passed Jake and Madi on the couch as they ran to Rachel's room. The duo on the couch could hear them arguing in the bedroom. Turning her head upward from where it rested on her older brother's shoulder, Madi queried, "What happened to them? I thought they were going to get married after two years."
"Yeah, so did Rachel. Unfortunately, Paul had other plans." Jake answered sarcastically.
Their conversation was cut off as one of the subjects of their talk came storming into the room. Paul was wearing a brown t-shirt with the sleeves cut off along with a pair of black cut off shorts. As he ran a hand through his short cropped black hair Jake said rhetorically, "Trouble in Paradise?"
"Yeah, Rachel's being such a…" Paul trailed off as he turned around to stare at the pair, or more like the girl sitting. As he stared into her chocolate brown eyes, he knew at that moment that he would do anything for her; that he would be anything for her. All he wanted in life was to make her happy. He even realized that he would gladly die for her.
Jake looked at Paul then at Madi and then back towards Paul as he figured out what had just occured. Grasping that Paul had just imprinted on his little sister, he started shaking with uncontrollable anger. Madi immediately jumped up feeling the vibrations that Jake was giving off and commanded, " Calm down. What is it?"
Jake simply ignored his baby sister and screeched " PAUL. OUTSIDE. NOW!"
As soon as the two exited the front door, Jake shouted, "How could you imprint on my sister?"
"What do you me to do? Apologize?" Paul questioned sardonically.
Glaring at him even more, Jake replied angrily, "No! Undo the imprint!"
"I can't undo it!" Paul argued back.
Jake's eyes narrowed even more as he stared at him hardened, and said, "Try; starting now!"
"Oh, why don't you try undoing your imprint," Paul retorted. Seeing surprise flutter across Jake's face momentarily before it was replaced with anger once more, Paul continued, "I was outside during your conversation. I heard the entire thing. Besides it's the same thing, you imprinted on your sister's best friend. I imprinted on my best friend's sister."
Jake stood speechless as he continued to stare at Paul. Without coming up with a response, Jake pushed past Paul walking up the porch to his house as he turned around briefly and added, "For the record, we're not best friends."
